    - Not all veggie juices need to taste like crap 🤮.

    23 A chat w/ Dr. Principal about being a Female Physical Therapist of color and the life of bodybuiling

    23 A chat w/ Dr. Principal about being a Female Physical Therapist of color and the life of bodybuiling

    What is it like being a physical therapist of color? 
    What is it like being a female physical therapist of color? 
    What is it like being a female physical therapist of color, who also competes and treats bodybuilders?

    I pick Dr. Principal’s brain on these topics, as well as asking why other physical therapists of color don’t know about each other, and why physical therapists are so damn “greedy”. 
    Dr. Suze-Elisha Principal has been a PT for over 14 years, specializing in treating spine, shoulder, and knee dysfunctionS, with an extensive background in neurogenic pain (sciatica, pinched nerves). She has a strong background in Sports Medicine and chronic pain. 
    Dr. Principal is a nationally qualified body builder- “Bikini Division”.

    20 Your Butt: How to Properly Screen and Train your Gluteus Medius

    20 Your Butt: How to Properly Screen and Train your Gluteus Medius

    So there's been a lot of talk about the gluteus medius (GM) and it’s role in:

    hip abduction
    hip internal and external rotation (dependent upon hip position)
    pelvic stability
    controlling knee valgus

    I'm not here to refute any of this. It's all true. My issue lies with how the GM is both screened and treated. If we wish to delver the best outcome to our clients, then we must  dig deeper into the terms structure and function --- which are clinically synonymous for anatomy and  physiology.
    Listen and learn the importance of knowing how the GM muscles function and how they play a role in your client’s work, life and play, will offer better results with your treatment plan, and yield improved client outcomes.
